Once you have mastered pizza dough, the possibilities for pizza and calzone are endless! A food processor can simplify making the dough. You will also need a large pizza pan or pizza stone
Goat Cheese Pizza
Dough:
1 teaspoon honey or sugar
2 tablespoons yeast
3 cups unbleached white flour salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
Topping:
Pizza sauce of choice (try pesto)
8 ounces Redwood Hill Farm Cheddar, Chevre, Teleme and/or Feta
1 1/2 cups topping of choice: sliced bell peppers or roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms, eggplant, chopped olives, sundried tomatoes or anchovies.

Dissolve honey or sugar in 1 cup warm water (100 degrees). Add yeast, and set in a warm place for about ten minutes. Foam will form on the surface of the yeast.

Meanwhile, put the flour into the food processor (using metal blade) with a dash of salt. Drizzle in the olive oil, followed by the yeast mixture. When the dough forms a ball (motor will begin to slow down), place it in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours.

Punch down and roll into desired shape.

Cover the surface of the dough with sauce, and top with 8 ounces of Redwood Hill Farm goat cheese and toppings of choice. Bake in preheated 500 degree oven for 10-14 minutes until crust turns golden. Brush the edge of the crust with a little olive oil before serving.
